Windows 2003 CA web enrollment question
by Guest Markus Moeller- 0 replies
- 153 views
I have setup a CA on a windows 2003 R2 DC. I can easily create certificates for IIS, but now I need to create a certificate for an Apache server. Via the CA mmc I configured that Web server templates can be issued, but when I use the Web Enrollment (e.g. http://server/Certsrv/) I can only select between Basic EFS or User certificates not Web Server certificates ? Where can I configure the web enrollment to issue Web server certificates ? Thank you Markus

by Guest Scott- 5 replies
- 283 views
We have our Domain Controller on an old server running Windows Server 2000. We want to migrate this to over to new server hardware and upgrade it to at least Windows Server 2003. On this server we have our Active Directory, Print Server, User Profiles, User shared drives, Applications, DNS, DHCP, Anti-Virus server, and we have another Windows Server 2000 running Exchange 2000 integrated with this DC. Couple questions about this. First off, what is the logical order of upgrading? Should we install Windows Server 2000 on the new machine, then copy everything over, and then upgrade to Windows Server 2003? Or can we migrate to the new machine with Windows Se…

Are people going for X86_64 editions of W2k8?
by Guest Andrew Hodgson- 1 reply
- 177 views
Hi all, We are going to upgrade our domain from W2k to W2k8 in the next few months. We are deciding whether we should go for the 64-bit edition, or just stick with the 32-bit edition? I want to use the servers for other programs, such as Sophos antivirus management, and a possible print server on the domain controllers. We are not using Vmware etc currently, so we got good machines and want to use those machines as much as possible. We have around 200 users. My questions are:- 1. If we install printer drivers onto the machine using add new printer, in a 64-bit environment, will I need to find XP 32-bit drivers as well and install them manually? 2.…

Mac OS X (Leopard) Client cannot Add to Windows Server Share

Hi, Strange issue here. My new desktop is a Mac Pro and when I attempt to connect to one of my Windows Servers it can read the contents of shares, download, and even DELETE, however on Add, it bombs out. It can successfully add files to my other 3 servers. The only difference between the servers is that the one that I cannot add files to is Windows Server 2003 R2. Has something changed in R2 that would need to be adjusted? Thanks for your help, STS

remote desktop for installation of new programs
by Guest Sally- 2 replies
- 262 views
I have 2 questions: 1) Is it ok to use remote desktop for installing programs on the server? I want to put the CD in the server during the day when I'm at the data center, but run the installation during the maintenance window at night. Will it cause problems if I run an installation program from a remote desktop session instead of being at the console? 2) Is it necessary or advisable to use the /console switch with remote desktop when I want to install a program on the server? I'm not sure if using such a console session matters for installations. Thank you.

Windows Server 2003 Heap Fragmentation
by Guest SimonW- 0 replies

We have a service that has been running under Windows 2000 Server SP4 for several years. We have recently upgraded some servers in the farm to Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2. Over time (in some cases as low as six hours depeding on throughput) the service performance degrades and eventually results in an "out of memory" condition. The service is structured as follows: 1. MultiService.exe - C++ 6.0 EXE which is a "service host". 2. NFSTaskDataTransfer.dll - Visual Basic 6.0 DLL which is the service logic. 3. NFSTransfer.dll - Visual Basic 6.0 DLL (installed in a COM+ library application) which is the data access tier. I have uploaded the fo…

Running a Windows 2003 server in a workgroup only. In the name of "security", I have "audit object access" set to "failure" in my local security policy. I'm also auditing hklm\software and hklm\system for "failure" on all events. Lastly, I'm auditing all of my hard disk partitions for for "failure" on all events, from the root directory on down. Yeah, I know this is a lot, but it's not my doing... Just trying to deal with all of the event log chatter that results. All of my applications are working fine, but I get almost constant "failure audit" "object access" 560 errors in my security event log. These failure audits are both on file system and registry o…

Hi, I am looking to implemement digital forms in our network using one or more of Sharepoint Services, Forms Server, MOSS, and Infopath. I would like to use digital signatures on forms, and was wondering the best way to acheive this. I currently have no Certificate Authority (CA) and have Windows Server 2003 AD (I am repsonsible for 1 domain in a larger forest). I would like to use an Enterprise CA for ease of use / administration, however I am concerned that should company name or ownership change, and the domain need to be migrated or absorbed to another organisation then my digitally signed forms would be useless. Would using a stand alone CA avoid…

So my first domain controller in my environment crashed and now I'm wondering how to cleanup. I've already seized all the FSMO roles over to my second domain controller but I want to know what else I need to do to clean up. For example the server still is listed in Active Directories Users and Computer and Sites and Services. Should I just remove the references to the old server? Can anyone point me to a white paper or article that describes this situation? -- -- Rob

Restore Virtual Machine in Virtual Server 2005 Question
by Guest JonK- 3 replies
- 325 views
I created a virtual machine after getting the virtual server installed. I then read some of the best practices and operations manual, getting more confused as I read but plugging along. I moved the .vmc and the .vmd files to a different drive and folder that I had set up as the default search path. I then realized I needed to fix the drive I was using as it was just a FAT32 partition. I copied all to a temp folder and took care of the partioning and formatting of the drive the way I want for now. I made the partition the same drive letter as before and then brought the saved folders back. Now when I try and add back in the virtual machine I already had I …
